Amazing editorial from the North Shore News! Weve spent the last 100 years building more roads with more lanes to service our sprawl and it is bankrupting us, lowering our quality of life and polluting our atmosphere beyond repair. And still we sit in traffic jams. It spits in the face of efficiency. While we pay dearly for highways and bridges in our taxes we still absurdly regard roads as free and #transit a nice-to-have in need of subsidy. With the proper investment it deserves, transit will no longer be for those who cant afford a car. It will be a desirable alternative. As the mayor of Bogota, once one of the most congested cities in the word, said: A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. Its where the rich use public transportation. nsnews/opinion/editorial/editorial-ticket-to-ride-1.1130168#sthash.gZFcrxJf.dpuf
